Medical Marijuana Strain Has Hundreds Of Parents Flocking To Colorado

[Jesus Malverde]

There’s a medical marijuana plant that has parents moving to Colorado to help their children.

The strain of marijuana is called “Charlotte’s Web,” and it’s named after a young girl in Colorado previously reported on by CBS4. The strain, converted into oil, has drastically changed Charlotte Figi’s life for the better. Now advocates claim hundreds of families are moving to Colorado in a last ditch effort to help their suffering children.

“We felt in our hearts it’s what we needed to do,” Marie Jay said.

The Jay family hails from Minnesota, but they have now been Coloradans for about two weeks. It was a move solely to help their daughter Jenna.

1. No one should have to cross a state line to obtain their constitutional rights.

Rights shouldn't ever change when crossing a state line.

2. Utah wants to make this cannabis a "special exception"

the parents are arguing it's not "marijuana" - it's "hemp."

All this semantic b.s. could be avoided simply by legalizing at the federal level.

4. I honestly think we're not too far from this.

"All this semantic b.s. could be avoided simply by legalizing at the federal level."

Eric Holder announced yesterday that federal banks will be allowed to accept deposits from the legally operating businesses. That, and the fact that other states are now looking at the kind of tax income Colorado is experiencing, will cause a real domino effect and the feds will HAVE to get out of the way.

This strain they're talking about could also easily be the one that was developed that has no psychoactive effects, but does help with chemo, etc. Y'know, like people going through that shit don't have the right to use something that'll make them feel a little better.

3. Other states need to follow Colorado's lead..

California has always been a state that has moved forward in innovation. I don't know why we are lagging behind in this.

5. Yes! Agreed re: California

Cali now has an ALL-Democratic State Assembly and a Democratic Governor.

Why not legalize marijuana completely? Who in California would truly be alienated from the Democratic Party if this happened? And how MANY people could legalization possibly sway towards the liberal cause?
